Fiber Optic Training and Consulting
The spectrum of a light source has a profound impact on the performance of an optical communication network. For high performance networks, the spectral width should be as narrow as possible, and the center wavelength should be stable and not drift over time. Moreover, the...
Laser diodes play an important role in most optical communications, from short reach premises and data center applications to ultra-long-haul terrestrial networks and transoceanic submarine systems. Building from the operation of the light emitting diode (LED), enhancements that are required to transform an LED into...
Fiber optic training from FiberGuide is available as open enrollment classes in Washington, D.C., McLean, VA or Arlington, VA. Both McLean and Arlington are less than 15 miles from Washington, D.C. For more details about our fiber optic training programs, point your browser to our...
Sign up for training in optical networking Trends in information and communication technology are creating great opportunities for engineers with the skills to work as optical network engineers. The growing demand for bandwidth continues to push optics into many realms of communication networks. Optical networking now...
Training in DWDM or Dense Wavelength Division multiplexing is one of areas covered in detail in one of the Optical Technology Training (OTT) courses. The vendor neutral training course, Certified Optical Network Associate (CONA), is available to any company or organization around the world through...
Dark fiber is fiber that is not connected to transmission equipment and is not in use. When network operators deploy fiber optic infrastructure, they typically install excess fibers within a cable or excess cables within a duct. For example, an operator may install a 144...
Over the past five years, many operators and service providers have been trialing 400G technologies on their live networks. In this article, we summarize findings from the review of over 80 trials throughout the world. The review focuses on operators, system vendors, technology options and...
As the telecommunication industry slowly migrates to 100Gb/s transmission in long distance terrestrial optical networks and plans for even higher data rates of 400Gb/s and beyond, improving system OSNR and spectral efficiency are some of the challenges to be surmounted. While system manufacturers are resorting...
